Today I was one of over 1,500 people who took part in the 2007 Cat & Fiddle Cycle Challenge in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. With a couple of friends I set off from Brian Rourke's cycle shop in Stoke-on-Trent on a 55 mile cycle through Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and the beautiful Peak District National Park.
The ride included the infamous Cat and Fiddle climb (7 miles long), here we stopped off for a bacon and egg sandwich at the Cat & Fiddle Pub, and relaxed for a while before setting of back to Stoke-on-Trent. Along the way we passed Flash; the highest village in England, Leek, and encountered many a hill, but we took it in our stride and arrived safely.
